4. Creating the Curriculum Key questions – What is it that we want US students to learn? Common Core Standards Next Gen Science Standards – How do we translate the Kenyan experience into a lesson plan that’s accessible and applicable to US students? Kenyan environment (landscape and ecosystem) Cultural and social concerns

5. Creating the Curriculum II Ways we connected Kenyan and US curriculum – Emphasis on experiential learning – Shared activities that could potentially lead to further communication (comparing/contrasting/sharing data) Magic Garden idea Creating ethograms for animals in both the United States and Kenya (through live camera on mpalalive!)

6. Method Undergrad intern paired with a teacher Worked on one lesson together Independent work with group collaboration and discussion each week

8. Reflection Navigating through standards – reading and applying them Learned an important aspect of teaching – Creating a “roadmap” before beginning a lesson – always having objectives in mind – Being able to measure (through assessments) what students have learned – Experiential learning – Student engagement
